Post-quantum cryptography

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic algorithms—specifically public-key primitives—designed to remain secure against the computational capabilities of a quantum-computing-enabled adversary.

Key Concepts

• Critical area of research and development aimed at mitigating Quantum Threats to existing Digital Security infrastructures.
• Focuses on protecting data even amidst the current hardware and scaling limitations of quantum-computing.
• Addresses the vulnerability of current Classical Cryptography standards to future quantum-scale attacks.
